Differences between the 35's for an 18 inch rim and a 20 inch rim is alot of $$$$$ for each tire.
Price the two different tire sizes and that may help, but if you have the cash laying around.....

$$ is the big issue, you will save 100-150 per tire sticking to the 18"/ I bought Nitto Terra Grapplers in 325/65/18 for my stock wheels and I love them!

I guess it depends on the look that you are going after... If you want the total offroad look, then go with the 18's. If you want a nice look, and an offroad look as well; for a little more cash, go with the 20s. I wouldn't go any further up than 20s tho.

Both look nice but the 20's get my vote...

I went with the 18X9s...a little more sidewall "Meat" than a 20. See picture in Signature.

price is definitely an issue but the purpose is also important.

Re: 35" tires with 18" rims or 20"rims?

I love the terras so far in mud, snow I haven't seen enough of. We got a couple storms so far this year and they stop PERFECT and drive great, only issue is spinning when in 2wd but that is mainly because of all the dang torque these motors put out, I have BIG TOW also with the gearing that doesn't help. Great for towing though.
